Great Songs on Bad Albums

Queen, the Clash, the Who, Bob Dylan and David Bowie are rock royalty. They have all earned "legendary" status, but Rolling Stone reminds us that even the greats have some goofs. The latest Rolling Stone readers poll ranks the "Top 25 Greatest Songs on Bad Albums." You know we love lists, like this and this for example, so I had to give some love to RS for this one.

The top 10 is:

1. Under Pressure from Queen's Hot Space
2. This Is England from the Clash's Cut The Crap
3. Eminence Front from The Who's It's Hard
4. Brownsville Girl from Bob Dylan's Knocked Out Loaded
5. Hallo Spaceboy from David Bowie's Outside
6. Kill Your Sons from Lou Reed's Sally Can't Dance
7. 2000 Light Years from Home from the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request
8. Goin' Home from Neil Young's Are You Passionate
9. Song For Guy from Elton John's A Single Man
10. Don't Look Back from Boston's Don't Look Back

The full list is here. You can argue whether all of these are "bad albums", but there is no doubt they are all great songs.
